Safety should be compared by exact year and trim.

NHTSA stars below are loaded from the official 5-Star Safety Ratings API. Ranges mean tested drivetrains or body variants differ. IIHS uses a separate crashworthiness and crash-avoidance test program.

Loading official NHTSA tests and recalls…

Star ratings apply only to the shown model year and tested variant. They cannot be transferred automatically to another year, trim, body style or build date. Recall count is model-level; use the VIN lookup to see whether a specific vehicle has an unrepaired recall.

THE SHORT ANSWER

Choose Rogue if…

Value-led compact-SUV family use. This representative U.S.-market model gives Nissan shoppers a practical starting point for comparing space, daily use and household operating cost.

Watch: Variable-compression engine history, CVT care and insurance.
THE OTHER CASE

Choose Macan if…

Performance-focused premium compact-SUV use. This representative U.S.-market model gives Porsche shoppers a practical starting point for comparing space, daily use and household operating cost.

Watch: Options, brakes, tires, premium fuel and specialist service.
